This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.

Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

Let's get away from the "X chromosome" bit now that we're not stuck with Reddit's bad names

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

It doesn’t need to be called the same thing.

I’m also not sure if it matters, but Troll X and Two X Chromosomes were very different subs. Troll X was more of a spin-off, and was never strictly for XX women - it was trans-inclusive by default. That’s what I’m hoping for here too.

I was on trollx and it was a nice community. A community with a name derived from two X chromosomes will never be fully trans inclusive though.

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Does anyone have a suggestion for a new name?

Femmy? Might be a bit obvious, but that's how I roll.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago

I feel like community names should be obvious.

Neither was twoxx arent many of the mods trans? Or is that a lie ppl say, I've seen that said a lot on redit

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago

It does sound like something "conservatives" would make up tbh

[-] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I think they showed an image with mod overlap and they also modded those communities
